ELSA P. – New Moon In Pisces, Maintaining Equilibrium And Giving To Get
March 3, 2011 by
We're headed into the new moon in Pisces on Friday where the key concept is serve or suffer. Some people don't know what that means but it's very simple.

The new moon is conjunct Mars, and Virgo is likely to be stressed and agitated along with the other mutable signs, Gemini and Sagittarius.

ELSA P. – Planetary Positions to Guide: Fighting By Undermining
February 24, 2011 by

Mouths run on and on so if you are prone to this as I am, try to check yourself. Also realize words are weapons … [Read more...]

We wake to the aftermath of the full moon in Aries. If you've got a black eye, take an aspirin, slap some meat on that puppy (or some ice, or a bag of frozen peas), then get ready to run because tomorrow that's what most of us are going to do. Where you run will depend on your Mars. Mars in Libra will run to the lover, Mars in Taurus will run to the mall. Mars in Gemini might run out for a new gadget but whatever your pick, most are going to want to distance themselves from something and on … [Read more...]
